అమెరికాలోని పశ్చిమ వర్జీనియాలో మంచు విపరీతంగా కురుస్తోంది. కనావ్హా, రాలే కౌంటీల్లోని రోడ్లను దట్టమైన మంచు కమ్మేసింది. కొన్నిచోట్ల రహదారులపై వాహనాలు కదల్లేని పరిస్థితి. దీంతో ఎదురుగా ఉన్న వాహనాలు కనపడక ఢీకొంటున్నాయి. మరికొన్ని ప్రాంతాల్లో తేలికపాటి హిమపాతం వల్ల వాహనాలు రోడ్లపై జారుతూ ప్రమాదాలు జరుగుతున్నాయి. దీంతో వీలైనంత వరకు ప్రయాణాలను వాయిదా వేసుకోవాలని వాహనదారులను పశ్చిమ వర్జీనియా అధికార వర్గాలు కోరాయి.

రోడ్లపై అంగుళం నుంచి నాలుగు అంగుళాల మేర మంచు పేరుకుపోయింది. ఇప్పటివరకు వందకు పైగా ప్రమాదాలు జరిగాయి. కేవలం 20 నిమిషాల వ్యవధిలో 20 వాహనాలు ఒకదానినొకటి ఢీకొన్నాయి. వాహనదారులు తీసుకోవాల్సిన జాగ్రత్తలపై జాతీయ వాతావరణ విభాగం డబ్ల్యూసీహెఎస్ పలు సూచనలు జారీ చేసింది.

"...some sort of safety measure, if you're going to utilize these dating apps - whether it's Grindr, any of the apps. It could be for straight people, not just people that are gay or bisexual, but just, internet safety. Don't share too much personal information online. Meet in a public space. This is the year 2020. It's okay, you can let somebody know where you're going. Give them a name, give them an address, let them know what time you're coming home. Just something so you can be safe while you're out on your date."

STORYLINE:
EDITOR'S NOTE: Story contains graphic content
Michigan State Police on Monday revealed details in the slaying of a man whose mutilated body was found last year in the home of his suspected killer.
The naked body of Kevin Bacon of Swartz Creek on Dec. 28 was found hanging from the ceiling in the Bennington Township home of Mark Latunski, according to 66th District Court records. The records show Latunski admitted to stabbing Bacon, 25, in the back, slitting his throat and eating parts of his victim.
"It's gut-wrenching to hear the details and we're beside ourselves," the victim's father, Karl Bacon, said Monday. "I'm going to remember him how everyone else remembers him, that he's a good person who was passionate and cares for people."
Michigan State Police received a call for assistance from Clayton Township Police Department to conduct a welfare check at Latunski's home, according to the court documents.
Latunski allowed officers to enter and search his home. During the search, officers questioned Latunski, who admitted to killing Bacon, hanging him by the ankles, removing his testicles and later eating them, court documents said.
Latunski, 50, was arraigned Dec. 30 on one count of open murder and one count of disinterment and mutilation of a dead body.
Bacon's roommate, Michelle Myers, told police the victim met Latunski on Dec. 24 after connecting with him on a dating app. His family reported him missing the next day.
Divorce, custody and criminal records from the 66th District and 35th District Circuit courts show a history of complaints about the mental health of Latunski. He was known to stop taking the medication prescribed to treat his mental health illnesses.
Latunski was appointed a public defender. A probable cause hearing is set for Latunski on Wednesday, with another hearing set for Jan. 14.
